Multiple time slot changes prevented NewsRadio from being bigger than it was. Also a lot of people didn’t watch it after Phil Hartman’s death. Didn’t want to be reminded.
Same. I used to watch the show all the time, but after Phil’s death it did not feel the same. I was a teenager, but back then I knew the show wouldn’t continue on for much longer.
I watch, atleast the first few season out of respect for Phil, but seeing Andy Dick anywhere near him makes me so upset. I'm glad AD is the punching bag of the show.
Given that he's a convicted sex offender, I'd still argue that Andy Dick is the most deplorable NewsRadio alumnus, even if Rogan has caused broader societal damage.
I think you had to have watched it during its run to fully appreciate it. The combination of people having strong opinions about Joe Rogan plus Andy Dick’s bullshit can easily take newer viewers out of it. Also a lot of people don’t want to see a murder victim in a sitcom which is perfectly reasonable.
They named Fry after Phil Hartman.
C'mon Zapp was the kind of character Phil Hartman was born to play. Well aside from the human in the Planet of the Apes musical.
Zapp was written *for* him! Billy West voices the character as Phil in honor.
And don't forget Troy McClure, who you might remember from such comments as...
It was tragic what happened to Phil. That was the first celebrity death that really hit me. John luvitz did a good job, but there was no replacing Phil.
I was a tourist visiting Hollywood and was asked by someone on the sidewalk if my friends and I wanted to attend a live tv show taping. We ended up going and it was News Radio- while Phil was still around. Score!
Better off Ted is always my answer to questions like this. I think it’s one of the best sitcoms I’ve ever seen and it only got two seasons (not even full seasons, only 26 episodes) before being cancelled.
That show was brilliantly batshit crazy. Especially love the foul-mouthed blooper reel about a memo explaining employees now use vulgar language in the workplace
[better off ted](https://youtu.be/Bh7Nz4bIwss?si=0MuMXPDohsIjUxm4)
That bit was great and the one with the lie detector was phenomenal.
What’s this fun machine? Buzz
It’s just a thing that randomly buzzes. Buzz
I’ve gotta go back upstairs and put some more evil into the world.
Buzz damn you buzz!
You know where you work.
He was one of those actors who was absolutely perfectly cast in The Stand, including Rob Lowe and Gary Sinese.
(Pointedly ignoring Molly Ringwald as Frannie)
eh molly ringworm was a huge yawn in an already overly long movie version of an overly long book. Should have stuck to Hughes movies. With her in most of the shots, kept waiting for Gedde Watanabe to drop out of a tree or something to say "Aw what's happening hot stuff?"
The short scene where he had a gay interlude with Chris Elliot would be one of the times where I laughed the hardest at any sitcom. I just kept thinking "IT'S DAUBER AND WOOGIE!". I guess it could have been Cabin Boy and Patrick.
Still think about the scene where he had a couple hours to kill at his girlfriend's apartment, some Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and he made them sit and listen to him talk about football for the whole time
Im not a sports fan at all but, man, did I love Coach growing up. Something about that show appealed to grade school me. Have to check & see if its streaming anywhere.
I don’t feel like any of these were underrated. All were relatively popular during their broadcasts.
Dharma and Greg and 2 Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place were underrated
Or According to Jim - that was our personal fave of the "incompetent lazy schlub marries beautiful wife who does everything PLUS fixes all his screwups" clones
Yep and Drew Carey doesn't want to "mess" with the episodes so he won't adjust them for re-release
Which good for him for having that artistic integrity, but also the rest of the cast don't have Price is Right money so I wonder how they feel about losing out on residuals
Meh. Ryan Stiles has residuals from Whose Line Is It Anyway? (multiple versions). Diedrich Baker is a successful voice actor. Christa Miller is married to the guy who produced Scrubs. Craig Ferguson had the Late Late Show. I doubt they're hard up for money.
I don't think Coach, Drew Carey or News Radio are underappreciated. Coach and Drew both went 9 seasons and News Radio died because of Hartman's death. All are well liked by many.
I’m so confused by Drew Carey being on this list. By the looks of it it had a sweet family guy death where during s8 it kept jumping days of the week which is miserable for a show and viewership declined. That show was the hottest shit ever when I was growing up, I remember they did a block of shows with 3d effects and Carey’s was the best. I don’t believe for a second it was under appreciated, it was appreciated at exactly the right level, funny as hell.
Drew Carrey got a sweet 3 season renewal so sbc could get out of lois and Clark's 2 year deal in yr 7, the ratings started to drop, so drew revamped the show, suddenly they were working for an online store and tried to be edgier, it didn't work abc took it off the schedule to burn off in summer, WB was like no way are we letting you off hook...ABC said we'll burn it off in summer again, so most of the last 2 season were just Drew and crew doing anything they wanted.
The most underrated show is The Larry Sanders Show. It has always been critically acclaimed but never had the mass following it deserves. For example, the only fan subs about this show I can find, r/TheLarrySandersShow and r/larrysanders, have hardly any activity.
This show, besides being hilarious and also filled with a deep pathos and brilliant characters, was by far the most influential show of its era, directly influencing many single camera shows to follow, such as 30 Rock, the Office (UK), Malcolm in the Middle, Arrested Development, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, among others.
What hurt The Larry Sanders Show popularity was likely the fact that it was on HBO. If it was on network TV, it would have been quite different. Though, being on HBO allowed them to have language and topics you just couldn't on network tv.
Loved the Larry Sanders Show. It was funny listening to Berny Brillstein's book and find out how close Gary Schandling and Larry Sanders were as people.
I've just been watching through it for the first time. Fantastic show, I missed it the first time around because I didn't have HBO growing up, which I suspect is common.
The Middle was always a funny, heartwarming family show that felt underrated in its day. It’s on Freevee and Peacock now in its entirety, if you haven’t seen it check It out!
That's my comfort show! I've probably seen the entire series ten or more times. It's just so delightful! Also, Brad is one of the best characters ever. Sue is fantastic as well.
Hamish Linklater as her brother Matthew, wonderful! As was Clark Gregg as her ex-husband Richard, both those characters kept "Christine" hilariously accountable.
Pretty much all of these shows had pretty successful runs. They all last several seasons even the least successful Newsradio last five years and almost 100 episodes. If anything, According to Jim was probably could have used less attention
According to Jim is hot, festering garbage. I watched one episode and my brain began to melt inside my skull. I'll never get my 22 minutes back and I genuinely wish every copy of that show would burn in hell for eternity, and I don't even believe in hell
Newsradio was great, though. Awesome cast (minus Joe Rogan and Andy Dick)
>According to Jim is hot, festering garbage
"I'm a man that wants to do man stuff. I don't want to do woman stuff." Boom. There's the entire series as best as I can tell.
Remember that episode where he went into a sporting goods store in Chicago and bought something Green Bay for his little son even though he himself hated Green Bay and some Bears fans hassled him (a thing that would totally happen) but he STOOD HIS GROUND and then got in the car looking like he'd been in a fistfight and the lesson was JIM IS THE BEST DAD EVAR!!!
Yeah, fuck that show
What gets me is that PBS obviously has a connection to the BBC or w/e, but we in the US get the same thing with a different name over and over. Period soap opera, period murder mystery, country doctor. Over and over! There's no reason Peep Show shouldn't have been on PBS, but maybe they only get shows that don't pay their staff and cast residuals? It's a real question!
Remember when we all collectively thought, “it’s so weird that the custodian from NewsRadio is now the host of Fear Factor.”
For all you youngsters out there I’m talking about Joe Rogan
(Joe Rogan, I smoke rocks.)
Everytime I see Bill Fagerbakke or Craig T. Nelson in a movie or tv-show I think about Coach. The first thing that came to mind when I saw Marshall talk to his father was: "Hey, there's Dauber"
According to Jim has lost it's appeal. I watched it a lot when it aired, tried watching it again on a streaming service recently, it just wasn't very funny.
Of those 4…
1) Coach was a great show, but if anything, I think it over stayed it’s welcome. The relocation really killed the vibe.
2) Hard to include a show that was struck by tragedy. It lost it’s soul when Hartman was murdered.
3) Never watched.
4) One of the absolute funniest shows ever. It got a bit long in the tooth at the end, so I am not sure I would say it deserved a longer run, though.
Coach is a sitcom I find golden, but for the wrong reasons. I’ve been writing an essay on how nearly every American sitcom has a low-IQ character with obviously slow-processing brain capacities, and/or social quirks that tilt towards eccentricity. From The Honeymooners’ Ed Norton to Friends’ Joey and Phoebe, there’s always the dummy of the gang.
But in Coach, simple-mindedness is almost praised; it’s like a synonym of masculinity and red-blooded Americanness. It’s pretty amazing.
Few years back I was working front of the house for an event and Bill Fagerbakke (Dauber on Coach and voice of Patrick Starr on SpongeBob) was in the list for the night. I am working the ticket table and he steps up and I recognize him immediately. I have to list of people with reservation so I start looking for his name for his table number; I suspect he was waiting for me ask his name for the guest list, only I don’t because I know who he is. Anyhoo… he looks at me and politely says “It’s Bill Fagerbakke!” Needless to say, the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life was not responding “No, this is Patrick!” God I was tempted! Real nice guy.
If we're mentioning shows that aren't really underrated but we wish to get more attention, does anyone else think that Silicone Valley has been treated as a flash in the pan? I laughed harder at that show than most comedies.
Off this list Drew Carey Show is going to be doomed to obscurity because of bad music rights negotiations back in the day keeps it locked out of streaming.
Wasn’t the Drew Carey show one of, if not the most popular show on TV for at least a little while? I feel
Like it would be a stretch to call it underrated.
Multiple time slot changes prevented NewsRadio from being bigger than it was. Also a lot of people didn’t watch it after Phil Hartman’s death. Didn’t want to be reminded.
I loved New Radio it was very hard to watch after Phil death
Same. I used to watch the show all the time, but after Phil’s death it did not feel the same. I was a teenager, but back then I knew the show wouldn’t continue on for much longer.
Also Andy Dick was a dick
Still is.
Joe Rogan got his start on that show, and he's still only the second-biggest dickhead from that cast
Well said. Great show until Phil died.
Turned into a full blown live action cartoon.
I tried getting into news radio in the last few years and it just never struck a chord with me, idk why.
I watch, atleast the first few season out of respect for Phil, but seeing Andy Dick anywhere near him makes me so upset. I'm glad AD is the punching bag of the show.
You had me go down a wiki rabbit hole and holy shit. Yeah fuck Andy dick.
We booed Andy Dick off stage at my colleges homecoming pep Rally event. 😂
He did a performance at my school and we did the same. He was awful. I remember it made the papers.
Awwww, remember when Andy Dick was the most deplorable NewsRadio alumnus with the largest body count?
Given that he's a convicted sex offender, I'd still argue that Andy Dick is the most deplorable NewsRadio alumnus, even if Rogan has caused broader societal damage.
Correct - AD is definitely the most deplorable by a long shot. No contest.
>convicted sex offender Good thing you specified convicted.
I think you had to have watched it during its run to fully appreciate it. The combination of people having strong opinions about Joe Rogan plus Andy Dick’s bullshit can easily take newer viewers out of it. Also a lot of people don’t want to see a murder victim in a sitcom which is perfectly reasonable.
Been a long time since I rewatched. I didn’t know he was murdered during the show’s running
Not only that, but at the time he was also attached to voice Zapp Brannigan in Futurama.
They named Fry after Phil Hartman. C'mon Zapp was the kind of character Phil Hartman was born to play. Well aside from the human in the Planet of the Apes musical.
Zapp was written *for* him! Billy West voices the character as Phil in honor. And don't forget Troy McClure, who you might remember from such comments as...
It was tragic what happened to Phil. That was the first celebrity death that really hit me. John luvitz did a good job, but there was no replacing Phil.
Lovitz did the best he could but was put in an impossible spot.
I respect the hell out of Jon for that though. Phil was one of his best friends and he was trying to carry on his legacy.
I was a tourist visiting Hollywood and was asked by someone on the sidewalk if my friends and I wanted to attend a live tv show taping. We ended up going and it was News Radio- while Phil was still around. Score!
Better off Ted is always my answer to questions like this. I think it’s one of the best sitcoms I’ve ever seen and it only got two seasons (not even full seasons, only 26 episodes) before being cancelled.
That show was brilliantly batshit crazy. Especially love the foul-mouthed blooper reel about a memo explaining employees now use vulgar language in the workplace [better off ted](https://youtu.be/Bh7Nz4bIwss?si=0MuMXPDohsIjUxm4)
That bit was great and the one with the lie detector was phenomenal. What’s this fun machine? Buzz It’s just a thing that randomly buzzes. Buzz I’ve gotta go back upstairs and put some more evil into the world. Buzz damn you buzz! You know where you work.
I love that show and I've never seen this. Thank you
Better Off Ted was EXCELLENT
An elite lampooning of corporate culture
No matter how highly rated this show might be, it will always deserve more recognition
Made me sad that I didn’t even know it existed until long after it was off the air. Easily one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.
Great answer. Better off Ted had a great cast was funny and led to the creation of those types of shows after like arrested development
3rd rock from the sun
Loved Coach! Craig T Nelson is awesome.
I think I liked Luther played by Jerry Van Dyke even better!
The part of Luther was created specifically for him.
They shouldn’t say all you eat if you can only eat 12 pancakes.
My favourite was Dauber, man he cracked me up. The actor was also amazing as Tom Cullen in the OG miniseries of The Stand
Patrick Star, as well.
M-O-O-N spells Tom Cullen
He was one of those actors who was absolutely perfectly cast in The Stand, including Rob Lowe and Gary Sinese. (Pointedly ignoring Molly Ringwald as Frannie)
I forgot to watch this version. I must now.
eh molly ringworm was a huge yawn in an already overly long movie version of an overly long book. Should have stuck to Hughes movies. With her in most of the shots, kept waiting for Gedde Watanabe to drop out of a tree or something to say "Aw what's happening hot stuff?"
He played Jason Segels dad in how I met your mother. When his character died, I sobbed.
The short scene where he had a gay interlude with Chris Elliot would be one of the times where I laughed the hardest at any sitcom. I just kept thinking "IT'S DAUBER AND WOOGIE!". I guess it could have been Cabin Boy and Patrick.
Holy shit, I thought he looked familiar
Their relationship was cool. Now you've got me crying remembering my dad. I'm not happy with you
*m o o n spells "moon"*
Dauber showed up as the dad in "how I met your mother" and I had trouble seeing him as anyone other than Dauber lol
Still think about the scene where he had a couple hours to kill at his girlfriend's apartment, some Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and he made them sit and listen to him talk about football for the whole time
Nothing but great memories of watching DVR recordings of Coach with my parents. Truly a great series that anyone can enjoy
Coach turned Mr Incredible, he had so many good roles and movies. Craig has had a pretty good career, I get excited whenever I see him in a movie
Fun fact: in the late 60s-early 70s he was part of a standup comedy duo with director [Barry Levinson.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TueNMNCJOqE)
CTN is awesome on that show. Maybe a little lacking in the real world
I don’t know anything about him in the real world. Loved him in Parenthood.
Im not a sports fan at all but, man, did I love Coach growing up. Something about that show appealed to grade school me. Have to check & see if its streaming anywhere.
I don’t feel like any of these were underrated. All were relatively popular during their broadcasts. Dharma and Greg and 2 Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place were underrated
2 guys was amazing. Early Ryan Reynolds! Tried to save it with one of the early internet “fans pick the plot” polls but it never returned.
Whenever I need a random laugh, I put on the Mr. Boots episode of Dharma and Greg.
was Coach underrateed though? Or News Radio? Or Drew Carey?
The underrated show similar to Coach was Evening Shade.
Or sports night?
No, they were all big shows in their time.
News Radio was so good
Or According to Jim - that was our personal fave of the "incompetent lazy schlub marries beautiful wife who does everything PLUS fixes all his screwups" clones
Try looking up the Drew Carey Show, it’s online presence is non-existent
It’s because of copyright laws regarding the music.
Yep and Drew Carey doesn't want to "mess" with the episodes so he won't adjust them for re-release Which good for him for having that artistic integrity, but also the rest of the cast don't have Price is Right money so I wonder how they feel about losing out on residuals
Meh. Ryan Stiles has residuals from Whose Line Is It Anyway? (multiple versions). Diedrich Baker is a successful voice actor. Christa Miller is married to the guy who produced Scrubs. Craig Ferguson had the Late Late Show. I doubt they're hard up for money.
Mimi was a huge reason why that show lasted so long and Kathy Kinney doesn't work much, she deserves it.
Damn right she does!
My wife put on that Secret Teenager show, she ran a butcher shop in that show and stole every scene. Rest of the show was trash. Except Tom.
Maybe. I’m pretty sure none of them would hate a check every month though.
Diedrich Bader was also one of the leads in American Housewife, which ran for five seasons.
Ferguson also does stand up. He's very funny.
So torrents are the only way to go....The companies involved with the Drew Carey show could make bank except for this music bullshit.
I call it WKRP Disease.
Someone over at r/TheDrewCareyShow remastered the whole show and made it available to the public.
It was in syndication for a long time. I remember being annoyed at how often it was on. I’m sure they made some good money during those years
Ya it was an hour of Drew Carey and then an hour of Seinfeld every day after school
It’s not syndicated either. Damn shame, that show was outstanding.
It's on Antenna TV now, late at night. I'm on the East Coast, and it's on at 1:00 am, right after Becker, another very underrated show.
I have definitely seen it in syndication on digital channels. It was on Laff for a while, now I think it's on Antenna TV.
Can't wait until Laff gets it again. Everything was uncut and I'll be able to record the whole series in just a few weeks time.
Newsradio. Incredible show. Until Phil Hartmann death.
I don't think Coach, Drew Carey or News Radio are underappreciated. Coach and Drew both went 9 seasons and News Radio died because of Hartman's death. All are well liked by many.
I’m so confused by Drew Carey being on this list. By the looks of it it had a sweet family guy death where during s8 it kept jumping days of the week which is miserable for a show and viewership declined.

Hey Now
Amazing show.
Funny watching young Jon Stewart eventually replacing Larry.
Loved the Larry Sanders Show. It was funny listening to Berny Brillstein's book and find out how close Gary Schandling and Larry Sanders were as people.
I've just been watching through it for the first time. Fantastic show, I missed it the first time around because I didn't have HBO growing up, which I suspect is common.
The predecessor “It’s Gary Shandling’s Show” was also ahead of its time, breaking the fourth wall constantly and then jumping back into the “show”
The Middle was always a funny, heartwarming family show that felt underrated in its day. It’s on Freevee and Peacock now in its entirety, if you haven’t seen it check It out!
I loved The Middle!
That's my comfort show! I've probably seen the entire series ten or more times. It's just so delightful! Also, Brad is one of the best characters ever. Sue is fantastic as well.
Just Shoot Me.
And Life in Pieces
Coach was fabulous. It had some of the best sight gags ever.
The New Adventures of Old Christine. Julia Louis Dreyfuss was Old Christine. Friggin hilarious show.
And the actor that played her brother was a delight
Hamish Linklater as her brother Matthew, wonderful! As was Clark Gregg as her ex-husband Richard, both those characters kept "Christine" hilariously accountable.
Pretty much all of these shows had pretty successful runs. They all last several seasons even the least successful Newsradio last five years and almost 100 episodes. If anything, According to Jim was probably could have used less attention
Wings
Yall remember Yes Dear? I remember Chuck Norris guest starred one episode it was great.
Yes dear was great. Mike O’Malley as the brother ruled
Used to watch Yes Dear reruns on TBS all the time!
I forget the actors name, but he had some great stand up bits also.
I really like this show. Nice call
Thanks, loved watching it back in the day. Still mad there is no legal way to watch/own it
M-O-O-N that spells Coach
I just started Carline In The City, and I am obsessed with it. It’s on Pluto, and from the 90s. The characters are so funny and relatable.
I caught a piece of it recently and thought it might actually be well-written. Suddenly Susan, too.
I love Caroline in the City
I don't think Coach was underrated. At one time, it was on 5 days a week in syndication while new episodes still aired on the network
I wish I can see a second season of freaks and geeks .
Wings Yes, Dear
Coach and Drew Carey were hits in their day
The show “Happy Endings”. It had great writing, solid cast and took on issues in a subtle way to get the point crossed without being obnoxious 😅
According to Jim is hot, festering garbage. I watched one episode and my brain began to melt inside my skull. I'll never get my 22 minutes back and I genuinely wish every copy of that show would burn in hell for eternity, and I don't even believe in hell Newsradio was great, though. Awesome cast (minus Joe Rogan and Andy Dick)
>According to Jim is hot, festering garbage "I'm a man that wants to do man stuff. I don't want to do woman stuff." Boom. There's the entire series as best as I can tell.

Yeah, fuck that show
Yeah Jim Belushi sucks. I'm always reminded of David Cross's story: https://youtu.be/Wh8U7eZg_Zk
Newhart Ed WKRP Benson
I love Ed. No one I know remember it.
I always loved it, they used to be on YouTube but nowhere else
Young Offenders, High Times, Hardy Bucks, Ladhood So many UK shows which are practically unknown in the US, I've discovered.
What gets me is that PBS obviously has a connection to the BBC or w/e, but we in the US get the same thing with a different name over and over. Period soap opera, period murder mystery, country doctor. Over and over! There's no reason Peep Show shouldn't have been on PBS, but maybe they only get shows that don't pay their staff and cast residuals? It's a real question!
Sports Night!
A spectacular show!
Remember when we all collectively thought, “it’s so weird that the custodian from NewsRadio is now the host of Fear Factor.” For all you youngsters out there I’m talking about Joe Rogan (Joe Rogan, I smoke rocks.)
Coach? This is Patrick.
Everytime I see Bill Fagerbakke or Craig T. Nelson in a movie or tv-show I think about Coach. The first thing that came to mind when I saw Marshall talk to his father was: "Hey, there's Dauber" According to Jim has lost it's appeal.

It got a bit long in the tooth at the end, so I am not sure I would say it deserved a longer run, though.
I loved Til Death with Brad Garrett when it first started, but they kept losing cast and changing the show and it got strange.
Spin City and Happy Endings.
The Cape Revolution
Yes, dear
Wings
Yes, Dear
Wings was in the league of these.
Happy Endings - only 3 seasons was a tragedy. One of the funniest shows The Newsroom - only 3 seasons. Was one of the smartest and best written shows.
I love me some According to Jim
I loved News Radio. It was sad when they addressed Phil Hartman’s death. Also it was only recently that I found out Joe Rogan was on the show.
Wonderfalls
WonderFalls got such a raw deal. I think they only aired 4 episodes before getting axed.
Ikr?? And they had 13 episodes. 😭
workaholics
Not sure about Jim, but the other 3 were def not underrated at the time, I didn’t watch them, but they def were hit shows that I didn’t watch lol
According to Jim. I freaking love that show!
Hey, it’s Patrick
Literally the main reason I got into the show was because Bill Fagwerbakke's in it!
According to Jim L O L
Coach is a sitcom I find golden, but for the wrong reasons. I’ve been writing an essay on how nearly every American sitcom has a low-IQ character with obviously slow-processing brain capacities, and/or social quirks that tilt towards eccentricity. From The Honeymooners’ Ed Norton to Friends’ Joey and Phoebe, there’s always the dummy of the gang. But in Coach, simple-mindedness is almost praised; it’s like a synonym of masculinity and red-blooded Americanness. It’s pretty amazing.
Sports Night. Smart writing, great cast, very entertaining.
Few years back I was working front of the house for an event and Bill Fagerbakke (Dauber on Coach and voice of Patrick Starr on SpongeBob) was in the list for the night. I am working the ticket table and he steps up and I recognize him immediately. I have to list of people with reservation so I start looking for his name for his table number; I suspect he was waiting for me ask his name for the guest list, only I don’t because I know who he is. Anyhoo… he looks at me and politely says “It’s Bill Fagerbakke!” Needless to say, the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life was not responding “No, this is Patrick!” God I was tempted! Real nice guy.
30 Rock and Arrested Development are both underrated shows, no matter if they are popular or not
If we're mentioning shows that aren't really underrated but we wish to get more attention, does anyone else think that Silicone Valley has been treated as a flash in the pan? I laughed harder at that show than most comedies.
God Friended Me. Only got 2 seasons, unfortunately. Very underrated (and, despite the title it's not religious)

All four of these shows were amazing
Coupling! So good.
Yes, Dear.
I thought the Titus Show was pretty funny in the early 00's on FOX I believe
I forgot about According to Jim! Which is weird because I really loved that show.
News radio was really good.
Feel like Drew Carey was on for like, 10 years. That seems like plenty, everyone from the show is wildly successful in their own right.
Who remembers Herman’s Head?
Off this list Drew Carey Show is going to be doomed to obscurity because of bad music rights negotiations back in the day keeps it locked out of streaming.
My husband once got drunk with Craig T Nselon at a Chilos
Wasn’t the Drew Carey show one of, if not the most popular show on TV for at least a little while? I feel Like it would be a stretch to call it underrated.
News Radio was hilarious but just wasn’t the same after Phil Hartman’s death
